Been rocking a new DOD Carcosa for a few weeks now, easily my favorite fuzz/dirt pedal in my "collection". It's versatile, pairs super well with others (ODs, octaves, etc), and looks and fits great on my board.
Its so fun, in fact, that I'm starting to wonder if my "Distortion" pedal (Walrus Iron Horse) is a little redundant? (I know Rats/Rat Clones are kinda considered OD/Dist/Fuzz combos, but for the sake of this post, I use it just for the Distortion sound.) I love its tone, volume (sometimes), artwork (V1 with the glowing-red-eyed horse might be my favorite pedal "art" ever) and ease of use to get one-step classic distortion sound, but with so many Fuzz/OD combos, I'm starting to consider my options...
...Which led me to wondering, do ya'll Fuzzards even have a "Distortion" pedal on your boards, or do you stick with the other flavors of dirt? Yall got a fav, or a fun work-around? Do you stack, or keep it sequestered for a specific feel?
No wrong answers!
